Opening Range Breakout
This trade is executed right at market open. Usually, traders will wait for the first 15 minutes for a stock to establish is opening range.

G-Man Pullback
This will be (hopefully) the first of many strategy posts I write. My primary motivation for this is to keep track of strategies I know and/or thinking of executing trades on.

3D Printing
The future is here – with 3D printing. If anyone has seen Star Trek, they will know about the synthesizer used in the show to make (synthesize) anything from coffee to costumes to anything else. This is how I felt when I first got my 3D printer and started making (printing) things with it. You…

Earn more by learning Go!
According to this article a friend forwarded to me, software developers who learn Go, Python or Scala (along with tech like Apache Spark) have found it easier to find jobs with better salaries.

Golang: Testing HTTP requests
Unit testing HTTP calls to external services is pretty easy in Go. Let’s say we have some code that makes HTTP requests like so: package something import ( “net/http” ) func SomeFunc(url) string { rs, _ := http.Get(url) defer rs.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(rs) return string(body) } We can test if the request is made…
